Representatives of a church group that wants to build a tent city for homeless farm workers met with officials from the Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Tribe and Riverside County, California, on Tuesday.

The county and the tribe said the Global Church's 10,000-square-foot command center can stay up pending review of the permitting process. The church plans to build a much larger tent city for seasonal grape workers.

The complex is located within reservation boundaries. The county will decide whether to allow the tent city.
